As far as i have been able to figure out, what 'entire product' relates to is not 100% clear cut. AFAICT, you could easily segregate the parts of your product you wish to be private, and just modify the GPL code to inferface with that (you

how do i read it online? I have no kindle. It offers downloading a windows app, no good for linux. It won't let me download unless i have a registered kindle program. Why can't they just let me download the file first? Significantly more fr

This is one of the reasons i want OLED screens on everything. I would find it very hard to go back to a non-oled phone, too. If you need darker-than-minimum setting then check out 'screen filter'.

Does anyone know of an extension for firefox (or chrome) that replaces white backgrounds (or even better all light colours) with darker shades? Flux and co are all well and good, but large areas of white (even when orange-ish) are still a s

I was literally looking for flux on linux just before coming to HN to read this, so i can tell you flux is available for linux[1], although there can be issues; which prompted the creation of redshift. 1. see http://stereopsis.com/flux/lin

'screen filter' works great on phones with OLED screens.

They said amount, not 'calorific value'. Penhaps it was replaced with lower calorie food. But i think there is also the factor that sugary foods/carbs are more addictive and not as satiating as fatty foods (eg 'i'll just have another biscui

To be fair, OP said 'sugar in the form of cakes, candy, and donuts'. Also, sodas are a special case, as they have pretty much zero nutritional value and, unlike solid food, do nothing to fill you up.

I really hate this trend for describing anything somewhat intellectual as 'autistic'.

Well, we already know DRM is a pointless expense, look at all the piracy it is stopping, according to ubisoft no less. But i think this could easily just be seen as users using piracy to try-before-you-buy.. and that most users might not li

I'm on the 'founder' side of this. I'm a lone founder and would dearly love to bring in a 'co-founder' or employee to work with.[1] The problem is that i have worked for a long time, progressed a lot, and have a strong vision of what i want

I don't think you know nearly enough to make that claim. You don't know what value each party is bringing, or their roles, and you don't know how much was done before OP joined. You don't know if the business has any particular strengths. A

I love the idea. It's really great to see something innovative here. I was almost going to say a little bit of genius, but i have a few more reservations now i have thought the idea over-- mainly that i don't think i'd see value in the 'gam

I'm curious.. would you do that if you were buying? I'll admit i had a think about which it might be, but then i think if i was going to put $20 down on buying one, I would just buy the one i wanted, and take any freebies as a bonus. FWIW,

My take would be that i DGAF if other people on the internet/US share my taste in t-shirts. My sole concern in that area would be geared towards wanting a free one. Personally, I wouldn't buy one I wouldn't be happy to pay the full price fo

IMO 9gag shows how a reliable stream of quantity can beat out quality of content on the web. Every time you go to 9gag (AFAIK, can't say i've visited much) there is new content. It preys on the 'seeker' human behaviour (like reddit, minecra

And that every blog post must be followed by 'Why blog post A is wrong' and then 'why blog post A and B are both wrong'.

The other problem with this idea is that it creates too much of an echo chamber or filter bubble.

I don't think it is a fair comparison. There is a reason he went to the embassy of the world superpower and not Ecuador's embassy-- which China may have been much less likely to respect.
